Big cities involving a considerable part of population and economic activities are known as primate city. In most of the cases, these cities are the capital cities. In static models, whenever the urban primacy index falls off the optimal point, it can negatively affects other economic performances such as resource allocation, productivity and production. Government’s settlements in primate cities can affect urban primacy and encourage the phenomena. One of the most effective ways with which the government can prevent primate cities competition with each other or with the other cities, is to put some limitation on the local transportation infrastructures. These infrastructures have a considerable effect on urban primacy in a way that a change in transportation, its infrastructures and rules can lead to a change in the location of economic factors. Therefore the effect of urban transportation and government policies on urban development pattern is obvious. In this regard the important thing is the government’s role in leading the urban primacy index to the optimal point using policy variables and the transportation sector. In this paper have been surveyed the impact of gas subsidies on Iran’s urban primacy using OLS regression during the period of 1968-2006. The results show that gas subsidies cannot reduce urban primacy in Iran. This result shows the problem of subsidy inefficiency in Iran which is one of the common problems in developing countries.

In this research, with field study and completion of questionnaire, and ultimately using of Pierson correlation and linear regression analysis, was distinguished that weakness of land-supporting policy. Including material cost and labors in the first degree and not make ready land in the second degree. Have been influenced. The regression analysis about reasons of abandoning cession lands shows strong relation between material cost in the first stage and absence of government supporting in the second stage.

Because of the heart of the city (Bazaar) is still alive in this part and mould setting located in this area which identify individuality of city. Reply to this question that " how can it be possible to set up the heritage protection and the mould credits of the historical Texture with the mould exigencies of current civil life" is in relation to the land usewhich leads to contrive a special expedient and comprehensive planning for land divisions base on extent and portions ofusages regarding to their role and efficiency. Generally, the purpose of this research is investigation of present status of land use in the historical texture of Kashan. Also study of extent, portion, distribution, and compaction of land use to determaine the shortages and operate equilibrium for in identifying the usages regarding to their preference and efficiency. Base on principles concepts, and Land Use criteriahas been analyzed the old texture of Kashan with area of 478 ha and population of 45133 (in 2006).

Disequilibrium of urban different sectors in facilities, urban services and poor distribution of urban land use is an objective field which considered urban planners by urban managers. In Isfahan regarding growth and spread of urbanization, urban migration, weakness and lack of urban services, the urban problems are more complex than ever and urban land use planning has been faced with serious challenges. Among the urban land use, parking land use is one of the users that all urban users need it and it is clear that in a world dependent on car, parking as well as roads and bridges are important, because easy access to work, residence, shopping and entertainment are made possible with them. Therefore it is an integral part of the infrastructure sector. Since the time of car stops in cities is much longer than their departure time, therefore predicting the suitable space for parking cars, especially in crowded areas and downtown is very important. But despite all the organizational planning for parking in the city of Isfahan and the great help and assistance of city managers, parking user condition in the present situation is very worrying and it can be mentioned as a complex urban problem. On the other hand, volume of vehicle entry to the city of Isfahan, the ease of car buying and ownership interest of citizens to use personal vehicles for various reasons and the increase of urban travel because of poor access to municipal services, is one of the reasons that signify the importance of parking user. This article is trying to analyze the geographical situation in the city for the parking of three user’s models (shift share, per capita balance test and correlation test). The results from these models shows that per capita for parking in areas 1, 3, 4, 5 and 10 are lower and at the regions 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 are above per capita in Isfahan. But the difference between eleventh regions and the entire city of Isfahan in this respect is not too much. On the other hand, the proposed per capita of approved plan for this user, is not achieved in any of the eleventh regions, and all of these urban areas are deficient in this respect and in regions 1, 3 and 5 this issue has become excessively acute. At the end, analysis and recommendations in order to solve urban problems are presented.

In present century the air transportation has had a very important role in relations between different countries of the world, as exchanging of culture, showing the economical and military power and speeding the vital affairs of a country and in this case airports form a very critical role in the Air Transportation system.
